Ok, it's official, I'm in love with timelapse. It gives me the same feelings I get when I shoot real film and don't get to see what I have until later which is like a micro Christmas with micro reindeer and tiny little cookies for a tiny little fictitious character named Santa.. love it.

The part of the story that I was not very fond of was the part that I leave my house at near sea level and think, "ahh, it won't be that cold.." and proceed to put on a pair of Chuck Taylors, jeans, t-shirt and light jacket.. Holy freezer nuts frosty, it was DAMN cold.. Although the thermometer in my car could have been wrong when it swore it was 44deg.. I know, you guys are going to kill me for this " 44 ?, that's nothing " but at 9000 ft the combination of thin air and Hawaiian blood caused me to spend most of the 2 hours it took to capture this in the fetal position, or with the car running every 10 mins..

Anyhow, I ordered the Milapse head, ( thanks guys ), and figured I might as well get a little better at regular stationary shots in the meantime..

I was thinking of trying a shot with a studio strobe that goes off with every shot.. Has anyone tried this yet ?
 
Strikingly beautiful.

I'm curious to what noises came from the H4n... Were the plane sounds actually from the planes/jets?

Which city is this? Maui?
 
Yes, H4n for all the planes.. These are all still photo's turned into a video sequence, there is no way to record sound to picture in this instance..

Yes, this is Kahului, Maui...
 
Very nice. Not sure movement would have added to it.

How many pics? Needed switching cards?

9000 ft should be on the road to Haleakala?

1296 small jpegs at fine setting.. barely used a gig of a 16 gig card, coulda been there all night..

Yes, it's right before the summit on Haleakala HWY.. I agree this shot came out pretty nice with a stationary setting..

Love and Aloha..
 
Redhead warmth

Redhead warmth

You should have raided the box of Redheads in your trunk and slipped them over your ears, nose, fingers, toes, and everywhere else they would fit! My Redhead definitely seems like it could keep some small part of me warm in an extreme emergency!:laugh:

PS-Gorgeous footage and worth the pain!

Any cropping during post as I understand photo is not 16x9

yes, the top and bottom was cropped a bit to fit the 16X9 frame. I knew I'd be cropping so tried to frame for 16X9 by first setting it to video mode to check and see exactly what I'd be using..
